I'm still not sure which pipeline should I use.

And, it seems that HDMI Slow Clock is not needed?

(seems that it's only for EDID, but simplefb won't use EDID)
So, I don't see how this may work.
How can the u-boot know the resolutions of the HDMI display device?

In other words: I have a new H3 board with the last u-boot and
kernel.
I plug my (rather old or brand new) HDMI display device.
After powering on the system, I hope to get something on the screen.
How?
If it works like the driver for the first display engine in U-Boot, it
will use the preferred mode reported by the EDID, and will fallback to
1024x768 if it cannot access it.

Then, if it is like in the kernel, the 1024x768 mode is VGA. It does
not work with HDMI (different timings).
U-Boot driver now accept any timings recommended by EDID. So far it
was tested with at least following resolutions:
- 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz
- 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz
- 1280x800 @ 60 Hz (slight clock difference)
- 800x480 (not sure about frame rate)
- 3840x2160 @ 30 Hz (4K)
I tested on 1024x600 (If my memory is right, it's @ 60Hz)

and nobody complained so far. I'm pretty sure 1024x768 would work.
Check the timings offered by the DRM core.

Maybe it would be worth exchanging on the EDID code that has been done
for the u-boot driver too, so that it can be fixed in your driver.
The u-boot got my code, and, up to now, I could not fix the random or
permanent failures of EDID reading in some boards.
I only have one OPi2, but as I said, EDID always worked for me.
Happy guy!

The only
code left from you is for DE2. HDMI stuff is basically copied from Rockhip
driver (including EDID reading), TCON code is now reverted to the same as
it is in sunxi_display.c. I think it is worth to take a look at EDID code
and compare it.
So is the TCON of DE 2.0 identical to the original TCON?

If so, we should reuse sun4i-tcon ...
Well, TCON is splitted in two parts (two base addresses), one for HDMI and one 
for TV. However, register offsets are same as before, so I guess driver 
reusage make sense. I think that there are few additional registers, but they 
can be ignored for simplefb.
The TCON1 of the H3 is not usable (no ckock). Analog TV has its own
clock and I/O area.
